So, I have 2 homepod mini in stereo but I still sometimes just enjoy listening to music on my iPhone. For someone reason it's very satisfying.

I currently have the iPhone 11 Pro Max green version.

I absolutely love green, and I'm super happy to see Apple has brought it back. The iPhone 13 Pro Max in green looks really nice IMO.

Is it worth the upgrade and also are the speakers noticeably better?
 
I jumped from 12pm to the 13pm and I feel like the speakers are noticeable louder but the earpiece seems to crackle/distort high pitched sounds.

Ok great. Is the quality any better? Louder is nice but I don't necessarily find my current iPhone speakers soft.

I suppose another consideration is waiting for the (hopefully) September release. Didn't think about that until now actually
 
50% volume will sound pretty amazing for a phone, but I guess you could wait for the 14 release, unless you get a deal for the 13.

I may find a great deal on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I prefer the green color so hopefully I could get that. I'm intrigued by the rumors on the 14. It's form factor doesn't seem different than the 13 other than the pill/hole notch but I guess nobody would know for sure right now (other than the higher level Apple employees I guess)
 
The newest model will always be the most desirable, but I think it’s all down to the money. From what I’ve seen they will improve the camera, just like every year (no periscope tho, which woud’ve been the biggest improvement), hole punch instead of the notch and slightly smaller bezels.
I don’t intend to upgrade myself, unless I find a deal or something.
My opinion, if you can get a good deal on the 13, go for it, rather than wating 3-4 more months and spend 1100-1200 euro/usd..

Yep. Even from the iPh 12 PM the difference is noticable.

Was the first thing I actually said. "What the heck have done with these?"

Makes sense. The leaks, if accurate, don't look like much different
